Verrassing. 2013 is nog niet eens begonnen en we gaan nog een keer terug blikken naar de 2012, want vroeger was alles beter. De site Uproxx blikt daarom nog even snel terug op 2012 en vertelt je welke games je hebt gemist in 2012. RDJ134 had Dragon's Dogma in ieder geval niet gemist en heeft daar ook een review over geschreven. Zeker de moeite waard dus om even te checken.

Dragon's Dogma

There's a lot wrong with this game. The dialogue is repetitive: "'TIS WEAK TO FIRE!" is something you'll hear a lot. The plot is not a model of narrative economy, aside from the finale making you wonder just how depressed the writing staff was. And it's got distinctly Japanese quirks that are not for everybody.

But it's a very flexible open world, more engaging, dynamic and colorful than Skyrim; decisions here matter more and their consequences are more visible. The combat is top-notch and fighting as every class is fun. And, most importantly, when you climb a huge enemy like a mountain and stab him in the heart, or cling for dear life as a dragon takes to the skies while you hack at his face, you will hear the symphonic metal solo of the gods in your head. Dragon's Dogma, when it clicks (and it often does) is what gaming should be at its best: simultaneously thrilling and hilariously ridiculous, having you do things that are literally impossible and enjoying every minute of it.
